About this track
A dear friend of ours has recently been charged £6000 for protesting against Elbit systems, one of the leading providers of weaponry and ordinance for the state of Israel. For her frankly badass work we have decided to release some music that won’t make the album cut but deserves to be heard loud and proud. All proceeds will go towards the Allianz 4 legal fees. For the next five months we will be releasing five tracks with the intention of helping our friend with her court costs in support of her activist campaign against the appalling genocidal war crimes upon the people of Palestine. Please help if you can. From the official fundraiser: "Donate to support the Allianz 4, charged with £20K criminal damage for taking action to end complicity with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. Hey! Four actionists including myself are being taken to trial, allegedly responsible to have committed nearly £20k of criminal damage to an Allianz building in Bristol in June 2025, charges we deny and we will fight! Why? Elbit Systems is Israel's largest arms company and the primary provider of land based equipment and drones to the IDF, the army we have all seen committing heinous acts of violence and destruction. The same forces documented by the UN as committing serious and systematic violations of international humanitarian law, and by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch as committing acts of genocide and atrocity crimes, across Gaza, the West Bank, and Occupied Palestinian Territories. Allianz were directly enabling the production of Israeli weapons on British soil. By Elbit’s own admission, their equipment is ‘battle-tested’ on Palestinians before being sold to militaries around the world. Profiting from genocide cannot be normalised. In November 2025, after a series of actions by various activists and public pressure, Allianz stopped insuring Elbit. I am fundraising to cover the £6000 needed to ensure I have access to legal representation. My trial is set to December 2027 and will take two weeks. Israel's leaders face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court yet walk free. Not one member of the Israeli state or IDF has faced criminal consequences for the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people. So, why are we being prosecuted for an act of conscience? That disparity demands to be named. After a decade of community work with children and young people, in youth work, homelessness and now in disability rights, I don't see the struggles we face here in the UK as separate from the human rights injustices happening globally. The compassion and empathy that drive my work connect them. I truly believe that a free and liberated world is possible for everyone, she is on her way. Palestinian solidarity across the country is a phenomenal movement bold, determined and growing. However big or small, your donation means so much to me! Please share this with your loved ones and your community. Big loveeee and free up our people all over the world!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
